BBC News reported on their Health website today that a new study demonstrates the efficacy of green tea in preventing lung cancer.
The study explored rates of lung cancer in smokers versus non-smokers and smokers versus smokers. The researches observed strong lung protection in the groups that drank at least one cup per day of green tea. Those smokers and non-smokers who did not drink green tea were five times as likely to develope lung cancer. Looking at just the smoker groups, the researchers noted that green tea abstainers were twelve times as likely to develope lung cancer.
The researchers made sure to point out that drinking green tea in no way made up for the damage done to the body by smoking and reminded the readers that not smoking is the first step to ensuring healthy lungs.
The BBC article also mentioned earlier meta-analysis and studies that haven given conflicting information to date about the true extent of green tea’s ability to protect against cancers. Please read more Here.
